Making a Difference
We are the PGA Tour
The Highland Springs Country Club will host the tournament for its 20th straight season this year, joining the Hillcrest Country Club (Albertson’s Boise Open) as the only other course to host a tournament in each year of the Tour’s existence. The Price Cutter Charity Championship presented by Dr Pepper is one of the most successful tournaments on the Nationwide Tour in terms of giving back to the community. The 19-year total of charitable dollars raised during the Nationwide Tour event now exceeds seven-million dollars. The Nationwide Tour grows as a virtual extension of the PGA TOUR. Through 2008, former Nationwide Tour players have won 237 PGA TOUR tournaments. Familiar names, like Boo Weekley, Brandt Snedeker, Stewart Cink and Camilo Villegas to name a few are making their mark on the PGA TOUR. Right in our own backyard we are witnessing the PGA TOUR Stars of tomorrow!
